How to Watch Purdue Football Against Michigan in Big Ten Championship

Purdue football (8-4) takes on the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (12-0) in the Big Ten Championship on Saturday at 8 p.m ET at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. Here's how to watch, with game time and TV information, the latest on the point spread, series history, team stats and more.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Purdue will represent the Big Ten West division in the conference championship game on Saturday for the first time in program history.

Following a 30-16 win over Indiana, the Boilermakers claimed the Old Oaken Bucket trophy and finished the 2022 regular season with an 8-4 record. But Saturday represents Purdue's biggest challenge of the season with the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines looking to continue their undefeated season.

Under coach Jeff Brohm, Purdue holds a 3-0 record versus schools ranked in the top three, including a win over No. 2 Ohio State in 2018 and upset victories in 2021 against No. 2 Iowa and No. 3 Michigan State.

Purdue enters Saturday's contest near the top of the Big Ten in every offensive category, but Michigan owns one of the nation's top defensive units, allowing just 12.7 points per game.

"Tremendous opportunity for our football team," Brohm said. "Like I said after the game, I think our players work really hard. They have a dream in their mind and we've been able to get to this point to put ourselves in a position to compete against if not the top team, one of the top teams in the country and they prove it every week, so of course we'll have our hands full."
